Etta Marion Warren’s physical health is “fair,” according to the ex- ert testimony of her physician, Dr. B. Lewitt, given in Judge Coffe court yesterday morning. To outward appearances an ordinary person might say that the woman who has left the major portion of Bertha M. Dolbeer’s | fortune is cnjoying perfect health. But Dr. Iewitt says his patient ‘is recovering from a nervous shock and | court or before a notary for a depo- | sition might cause a collapse. Three points were involved in the hearing before Judge Coffey—the physical and mental condition of Etta Warren, the demand of the Schander | side that her deposition be taken be- fore the case is set for trial and the insistence of the attorneys of the ad- ministrators that the trial be set for an early date. After the examination Judge Coffey d he would hear arguments on Morday afternoon. he might deal more directly upon the illness if the person involved were a mau, but under the circumstances he had to believe the testimony of the | woman’s physician. | | | |and was present at the time she ar-| | |rived from New York, where she was| | Pa witness of Bertha Dolbeer’s dreadful | Dr. C.

Dr. Lewitt first visited Miss Warren ion August 8 and between the 3d and | unlettered, { { | be considered by that date he did not know of any one having attended her. He said she was suffering from the effects of the shock. She is evidently much better, but her mental condition is such that a severe strain might bring on col- lapse. Her nervous system is upset and will probably continue so for sev- eral weeks. The doctor thought she might stand a short examination if it were not exciting, but he was not In- clined to say that she might appear in court under a few weeks, nor ap- pear in a private office for a deposition, in which the cross-examination might excite her. Hiram Johnson cross-examined Dr. Lewitt and learned that he had ad- vised Miss Warren to take as much daily exercise as possible and that he knew she had made trips downtown, accompanied by her nurse. It was brought out, on the admission of At- torney Pillsbury, that Miss Warren had visited his office twice. NERVOUS AND UNFIT. Mrs. Adeline Copeland, a notary, t ed that she had been called to Mr. Pillsbury office to verify Miss Warren's answer to the Schander con- test. She said that Miss Warren “was pallid, nervous and unfit.” When asked to explain her statement she de- ed that “it is difficult to make a man understand a woman's condition in that shape.” Barretta, a jeweler, testified that Warren and another woman came to his establishment on August 13 and 16 and made purchases of jewelry. Sam Valenzuela, the last witness, af- forded some insight as to methods in serving summons and some ment in his explanation: He said he went to Miss Warren's house with a summons for her to appear. before a notary. He wore a messenger's cap, however, and when the rurse came to the door said that he “had a message which he must give Mi Warren personally.” She came downstairs, handed her the summons. This evidence seemed Judge Coffey and he questioned the yeung man at length. The boy said he was in the business of serving sum- monses in difficult cases. He admitted that he frequently used disgulses and said: ““When I go to those rich houses the nurse always answers the door and I have to look like a messenger to get next.” The answer raised a laugh. When the Judge asked the boy if he was em- ployed by any company, he replied that he had a company of his.own. At the end of the examination At- torney Pillsbury renewed his motion that the case be set for trial. Hiram Johnson asked that all the evidence and the affidavits heretofore submitted the court. Johnson asked the court to order Miss Warren to show cause why she shouild to interest not be punished for contempt and re- | quire her to give a deposition. DEFENSE DOESN'T NEED HER. Mr. Pillsbury suggested that the ad- ministrators would go to trial without ! and Mr. | Miss Warren's presence, Johnson retorted that such a proceed- ing would indeed be “inhuman,” con- sidering that the executors were de- fending her interests as the chief resi- duary legatee of the estate. Judge Coffey said the only question was as to whether Miss Warren's con- cition is such as to make an order to ! proceed with her testimony proper. If | the doctor ‘was to be believed the ac- tion might be perilous to her health, and he did not believe the contestants would care to drive her out of her mind. Upon this view the Judge decided to | hear arguments next Monday, when | he will probably settle the question of the deposition and set the trial for hearing. —_——— A Press Club Eleets Officers.
